In relation with manage TO-DO list in Notepad++ I have an unexplained behaviour with the installed Notepad++ plugin Task List.

I have added the file npp_task_list.cfg to the right folder. I see also that it is working for "TODO:" (see Todo Works).

I see also if I modify the todo keyword, it disappears from the list. Todo does not work

Why are the other keywords not working? The only idea I would have is that I am using the 64bit version, but I am lost, what could be wrong? I really would like to use other keywords that appear in the task list to the right. Any suggestions?

Edit 2022-11-17:

Notepad++ Plugins Admin currently (at time of writing) only installs Task List Version 2.4 but Task List Version 2.5 is out there and fixes the issue you described. Therefore, you have to install the latest version manually.

Use the links below for this update.

To get more keywords e.g. TEAM: you have to change the npp_task_list.cfg file. To do this, start your text editor with extended rights as administrator.

BTW - searching for the editor (e.g. Notepad++) in the Start menu and then typing Ctrl+Shift+Enter lets you run the program as an administrator.

version=
1

keywords=
TODO:
BUG:
FIX:
REFACTOR:
DONE:
INFO:
TEAM:

I first have only managed the following solution as a workaround under Windows10 x64 using Notepad++ v8.4.7 (64-bit). Please note this was thought for Task List Version 2.4 only.

  • Created config folder under C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\NppTaskList
  • inserted a $ sign in front of each keyword

  • Ohh, this is getting closer. I tried as you mentioned, and it works for the keywords in there, but I cannot add new ones. Can you add $TEST: for example? Does that work for you? Update: never mind, as usual, a restart of Notepad++ fixes it. Thanks a lot and high five! – Nico Vadøy Nov 17 '22 at 13:28
